Youth After School Program (Teen Program)
About the Program
The Youth After-School Program (YASP) offers middle school and high school students a fun and safe place to hangout after school. Youth get assistance with homework, are provided a healthy snack and evening meal, participate in unique learning activities, go on field trips, hear from dynamic speakers, and volunteer in the community.
The program is located at The Place and meets regularly during the school year.
Time to Explore
We beleive that it is important to explore and travel. Our area has so many things to offer! For this reason, we provide youth in the Teen Program opportunities to be involved in field trips. During the 2018/2019 school year, we traveled to New York City, Corning Museum of Glass and ice hockey games in Binghamton, just to name a few. Some teens participated in the 4H Survival Skill Challenge Competition.
Special Programming
Teens are offered additional opportunities for enrichment activities through collaborative ventures with Cornell Cooperative Extension, 4H, Reality Check and Family Planning of South Central New York.
